Students at Boston Public Schools are finding more prominent placement of meat-free dishes in their cafeterias on Mondays and are filling their trays with black bean burrito bowls, garden fresh salads topped with chickpeas, protein-packed chili, and more.

The city of San Jose issued a proclamation naming Mondays to be “Meatless Monday” to protect animals and support the health and environmental benefits of taking a holiday from meat at least one day a week.

In 2011, The HSUS joined the United Egg Producers to press for legislation phasing out the egg production using barren battery cages. We summarize this effort and our progress for farm animals in other areas.
